Season 5 (2019)

We can’t believe we’ve hit 100 episodes! In this special, we’ll go behind the scenes on all things BlackProGen LIVE – from the origins of the panelists to how we get the show to you – and we’ll discuss our thoughts on the journey we’ve taken over the last five years.

People of color have often lived in communities where they were drastically in the minority. In episode 99, we’ll cover the ways you can unearth the story of your ancestors when it seems as though they were the only folks like them living in their community.

What are terms of use and should we be concerned by them? What is legal when it comes to the use of genetic genealogy in law enforcement? When should researchers be concerned when it comes to the release of data? Episode 98 will tackle the law, genealogy, and staying safe and updated as things change.

Genealogy and history are en vogue in popular culture, largely due to the number of television programs that are themed around the topics. In episode 97, we’ll discuss the implications of the two converging into entertainment and the effects they have on the industry as a whole.
